Police pursuit subject remains in coma, fundraiser planned

Darryl Mount, the 21-year-old Malta man who police say was injured in a fall while running from officers last week, was still in a coma Saturday at Albany Medical Center, but was off a ventilator and in stable condition, according to his aunt.

To help pay his medical expenses, the family is organizing a barbecue on Sunday, Sept. 22, at the Eagles Club on Crescent Avenue. More details about this should be available on Tuesday, she said.

Mount fell about 19 feet through scaffolding at about 3 a.m. Aug. 31 while being pursued by police, who said they saw him push a woman's head into a wall on Caroline Street.
